Chapter 35 Clues
Lu Yan woke up when Yu Zechuan got up, but he did not close his eyes immediately. Instead, he chose to continue pretending to sleep.
The room was so quiet that he could even hear his own nervous breathing. Time passed by bit by bit, and it seemed as if an invisible sword was hanging in the air, ready to fall and pierce his throat at any time.
“Squeak—!”
Suddenly, a sharp sound came from outside, as if someone accidentally kicked the coffee table. The sound of the corner of the table scraping against the floor was sharp and unpleasant, but it soon quieted down.
But it was too quiet, which was actually a little scary.
There was a sound of footsteps approaching, and a thin figure appeared outside the door.
After Yu Zechuan finished the call, he returned to the bedroom quietly. He stood in front of the bed, staring down at Lu Yan who was still asleep. The hand holding the phone slowly dropped, and the blue veins on the back of his hand could be faintly seen.
Even with his eyes closed, Lu Yan could still feel the intense gaze on him. He couldn't help tightening his hands hidden in the quilt, and even his nails dug into his flesh. He knew Xue Jin must have called Yu Zechuan to tell him the truth, and at the same time, he couldn't help thinking in his mind what would happen next.
With the foundation of these few days of getting along, Yu Zechuan would never suddenly stab himself to death like he did in the first game, but he might put the dagger to his neck and angrily ask himself why he lied to him.
Or, the other party may be so angry that he doesn't even bother to use the knife, but instead uses his hands with thin bands to tightly strangle his throat.
Or...
Lu Yan closed his eyes and thought of no less than twenty ways to die. However, as time passed, the other party never made a move. Finally, a cool breeze suddenly filled the warm quilt, and a body quietly slid in and burrowed into his arms like last night.
Lu Yan blinked in surprise and subconsciously looked down at Yu Zechuan, but saw that he had his eyes closed, as if he was going to take a nap, with no sign of being angry at all.
It's really weird.
Lu Yan gently patted Yu Zechuan's face. Yu Zechuan looked unhappy and asked in a sleepy voice: "What?"
Lu Yan asked casually, "What were you doing outside just now? I heard a noise on the table."
Yu Zechuan closed his eyes and turned over. He felt that Lu Yan was surprised and said, "Nothing. I was on the phone with a friend and accidentally bumped into the corner of the table."
He then said, "It's not dawn yet, let's sleep a little longer."
Time goes back five minutes.
"Sawakawa, where are you now?!"
This was the first sentence Xue Jin said after the call was connected. It was not difficult to hear the anxiety in his tone. Yu Zechuan stood in front of the French window, subconsciously glanced at the bedroom, and said vaguely: "I'm not at home now, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"I……"
Xue Jin wanted to tell him the truth almost immediately, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them. Xue Jin probably knew in his heart that once the truth was exposed, Lu Yan would be dead.
Did Lu Yan, Jiang Boyun's lover, really need to die? Was it worth it for them to have blood on their hands?
Xue Jin didn't sleep all night, and he still didn't figure it out. His mind was in a mess. Finally, he wiped his face and said, "Forget it, it's nothing. I'll talk to you when we meet."
He didn't know that Lu Yan and Yu Zechuan had already slept in the same bed, otherwise he would have regretted why he didn't expose the other party on the spot.
Yu Zechuan: "Are you coming over today?"
Xue Jin: "Today I promised to accompany Annie to visit the Castle Park, so I may not be able to spare the time."
Yu Zechuan always felt that Xue Jin was a little weird, but he didn't take it to heart: "Okay, when you come over, send me a message in advance."
Xue Jin said nothing. This result was beyond Lu Yan's expectations, but it also seemed reasonable, because as time went by, Xue Jin would increasingly not want Yu Zechuan's hands to be stained with blood.
It's not worth sacrificing the rest of your life for someone like Jiang Boyun.
Yu Zechuan had the rare opportunity to take a nap, but he just closed his eyes and squinted, not really falling asleep. In a daze, he felt a chill between his legs, and someone gently pulled up his trouser legs. He opened his eyes alertly, but found that it was Lu Yan.
Yu Zechuan thought this man was a gangster. He put his hands behind his head and raised his eyebrows lightly: "Why are you lifting my pants?"
Lu Yan was still sleepy, his voice lazily sounding in the early morning. He lowered his head and carefully examined Yu Zechuan's knees. His face was coated with a light golden hue in the rising sunlight outside. "Didn't you say you hit the table? Let me see where you hit it."
Yu Zechuan was a little embarrassed and turned his head away: "It was just a casual bump, no need to make a fuss."
Lu Yan had already found his wound. There was a small purple bruise on his knee, the size of a fingernail. "It's bruised. Do you want some medicine?"
Yu Zechuan shook his head, his dark hair slipped down a little, covering his amber eyes. He pursed his lips, showing a rare childish look: "I don't like the smell of medicine."
“Chirp.”
Lu Yan suddenly lowered his head and placed a light kiss on the bruise. Yu Zechuan sat up as if he had been electrocuted. Like a frightened animal, he stared at Lu Yan helplessly: "You..."
He paused for a moment before asking, "What are you doing?"
Lu Yan smiled and said, "You don't allow me to apply medicine, so it won't hurt after a kiss."
He put Yu Zechuan's trousers down and restored them to their original state before lying back in the quilt: "Go to sleep. When you wake up, I'll take you to dinner, and then we'll go somewhere in the afternoon."
Yu Zechuan was originally staring at his knees in a daze, but he finally came to his senses after hearing this: "Where are we going?"
Lu Yan closed his eyes: "You will know when the time comes."
To be honest, Lu Yan was a little disappointed today. It was like you had finally prepared yourself for a storm, and every minute and every second passed by in a slow manner, but when the day finally came, everything was calm and nothing happened.
Of course, this thought was a little mean, after all, he couldn't expect anything to go wrong. It was good that Xue Jin didn't tell the truth, and by giving him more time, he could improve Yu Zechuan's favorability.
So in the afternoon, Yu Zechuan was coaxed and dragged out of the house by Lu Yan. They hailed a taxi on the roadside and after about half an hour's journey, they finally stopped in front of a large amusement park in the city center.
When getting off the car, Yu Zechuan hadn't had time to see the surroundings clearly before his eyelids suddenly felt warm. Lu Yan covered his eyes. His body reflexively tensed up for a moment, then relaxed again. He asked in a low voice, "Why are you covering my eyes?"
Mysterious.
Lu Yan smiled and said, "Just follow me. I'll tell you when we get there."
Yu Zechuan was not afraid that he would kidnap him, so he frowned, adjusted himself to the darkness, and had to follow him.
It was almost afternoon and not yet completely dark, but when we walked to the entrance, the line had already formed a long queue. The roller coaster in the distance was like a giant dragon, circling in the air, and there was a carousel with flashing colorful lights. In the middle was a huge European-style castle, which looked beautiful and dreamy.
"arrive."
Lu Yan stood behind Yu Zechuan and finally took down his hands that were covering his eyes. This action was like pressing a switch. In an instant, countless noisy noises flooded into his ears, and in front of him were the dazzling colored lights of the amusement park, but because it was too dreamy, it made people feel unreal.
Yu Zechuan was stunned for a moment: "Where is this?"
Lu Yan smiled and said, "It's the amusement park. Do you like it?"
“…”
Yu Zechuan did not answer. He turned his head to look at Lu Yan, and suddenly a strange feeling arose in his heart. This strange feeling was that Lu Yan was too perfect. Every word and every action of his could just hit Yu Zechuan's secret thoughts, as if it was tailor-made for him.
But is there really someone in the world who is so compatible with him?
Yu Zechuan narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to see through Lu Yan's heart: "Why... did you bring me here?"
Facing Yu Zechuan's suspicious gaze, Lu Yan realized that he had gone too far in his eagerness to improve his favorability. He was briefly flustered, but then he regained his composure and waved the amusement park ticket in his hand: "Don't you know that this amusement park is celebrating its anniversary today, and the tickets are half price? Anyway, I'm free, so I asked my friend to grab two VIP tickets, so you can just play with me."
As he finished speaking, he pulled Yu Zechuan to go through the VIP passage, but he was grabbed by the wrist and a deep voice rang in his ear: "Tell the truth, don't lie to me."
Yu Zechuan couldn't help tightening his grip on Lu Yan's fingertips, and it even hurt. He asked word by word repeatedly: "Why did you bring me to the amusement park?"
He wanted to go to the amusement park because his mother had promised him to go there when he was a child, but she never kept her promise, and over time it became a thorn in his heart.
But Yu Zechuan had never told this to anyone, including Old Master Yu. So how did Lu Yan happen to hit the nail on the head?
The more Yu Zechuan thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he even felt a hint of fear—
He fears deception and hates hypocrisy.
Lu Yan had no choice but to stop and look back at Yu Zechuan. At this moment, the sky was completely dark. Against the dark blue light and shadow, his skin had a cool tone, and his eyebrows were handsome and deep, like a poetic painting. Many people on the roadside turned their heads frequently.
"Then I say, you are not allowed to be angry." Lu Yan seemed helpless.
Yu Zechuan knew that he had a bad temper, but he still made a promise: "Okay, you tell me."
Lu Yan considered carefully before speaking: "Do you remember that not long after I moved into the apartment, it rained that night and you... fell ill."
Being sick is just a euphemism; it would be more appropriate to describe Yu Zechuan's condition as being crazy.
Yu Zechuan's voice was emotionless: "Yeah."
He obviously didn't want to talk about it.
Lu Yan: "You were in a state of confusion at that time, and you talked a lot of nonsense about your mother. You kept asking her why she didn't take you to the amusement park, so..."
He paused and said, "So I want to show you around."
Yu Zechuan didn't expect it was because of this, and looked stunned. He came to his senses and was a little at a loss. Just when he wanted to apologize, he saw Lu Yan suddenly crumpled the ticket in his hand and sighed heavily: "Forget it, your kindness is taken for granted. If you don't want to play, let's go back. If you are in a bad mood, you won't have fun."
"etc--"
Yu Zechuan's face changed and he immediately reached out to stop him, but he was too late. He could only watch Lu Yan throw the ticket into the trash can, where it mixed with a pile of fast food boxes.
Lu Yan patted the non-existent dust on his palm, turned his back to Yu Zechuan, and stood by the roadside ready to stop a car: "It's getting dark, let's go home early."
Is he angry?
You must be angry, otherwise why don’t you look at yourself?
Yu Zechuan had never coaxed anyone before, but he knew that his actions had just hurt Lu Yan's kindness. He walked to Lu Yan's side, stood there in silence, and finally hesitantly stretched out a hand and grabbed the man's sleeve: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now."
Lu Yan said "Oh" and nothing more happened.
Yu Zechuan tried to make amends: "I'll buy two more tickets, can we go in together?"
Lu Yan seemed even more unhappy: "It's out of stock. It was sold out yesterday. I waited for several days to get it."
Yu Zechuan thought, why don't you just throw it in the trash can? But no matter how stupid he was, he knew he couldn't say that. After thinking for a moment, he finally came up with a solution: "How about I buy it from a scalper at a high price?"
Lu Yan tilted his head to look at Yu Zechuan and said unhappily, "You gave Uncle Chong 1.5 million for free last time and it wasn't enough, how much do you want to give to the scalper this time?"
Yu Zechuan: "As long as those people don't cause you trouble, it won't be a free gift."
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows: "How do you know those people won't bother me again?"
Yu Zechuan stopped talking. He looked at Lu Yan quietly. The aura around him made people smell a bit of danger. "Anyway, they won't look for you again. My money is not that easy to take."
Yu Zechuan let go of Lu Yan's sleeves, lowered his head and clasped his palms, then slowly tightened them, eliminating any possibility of escape, and asked without any emotion: "Are you really not going to accompany me to the amusement park?"
Lu Yan: “…”
I always feel like if I say "no" I'll die a miserable death.
Lu Yan finally understood the situation and compromised, but they didn't need to buy tickets from scalpers because the paper tickets were torn and there were still electronic tickets available online. He was just teasing Yu Zechuan just now.
Yu Zechuan endured it again and again and finally refrained from kicking this cocky man.
When it was time to enter the park, more and more tourists came, and their figures were soon drowned in the sea of people. Little did they know that the whole scene was seen by a man in the distance.
"Xue Jin, what are you doing standing there? It's almost time to enter the park. What if you can't squeeze in later?"
Lin Annie skipped to Xue Jin's side, wearing a shiny rabbit headband on her head, looking very cute.
Xue Jin finally came to his senses after hearing this. He adjusted his glasses and felt that he must have seen it wrong. How could Lu Yan and Ze Chuan walk into the amusement park hand in hand?
"Nothing, let's go in."
Xue Jinyu dragged Lin Anni into the amusement park, but doubts arose in his mind. His eyes narrowed slightly behind the lenses, and he unconsciously searched for the two familiar figures in the crowd.
